Pioneer Avic D2

Does anyone know if this unit allows you to view the Navi while listening to music? and if so how much diff is it from the D3?

Yes we just put one in 2 weeks ago. Can listen to music it will cut out when turns are comin up....Can not trick unit into playing videos while driving though if the Nav is connected. If not can ground park brake wire and watch videos while driving (Though my shop would never do this it's illegal )

AVIC D1/D2 can be set to continue to play music and have the navi commands talk over the music ... it does NOT have to mute the music.

D2 VS D3 is a world of difference. I don't really know where to begin on that! Personally I would just recommend the D3 ... still one of my all time favorites.

If you have any specifics you want to know between them let me know ... I am THE BEST person to ask.

Yup Gabe is the man ..... And why he didn't tell you that just grounding the unit....LOL will not work. Go over 5 miles per hour and message will come back up..... GPS have to trick that.. I wont say what to flip or unsolder but go from there....


Now Gabe you gonna come help me on this Pioneer Demo Buildoff car???????? HEHE

Jimbo I will help you just tell me when I'm there, You got my ####Z fool

Where is it going to be, What show???

I would prefer the D3 myself but it's a trade type deal.. Now I hate to bother you on this but does the nav tray normally always go out? bc i hear that alot.. and does it need a bypass.. I need all the info you can give me so that I have no problems bc I'm more than likely gonna trade it.. BTW how much is it to get the nav tray fixed?

I would never try to be illegal in any shape form or fashion.. but what they don't know wont hurt them

If I remember correctly the D2 doesnt have a built in dvd player and the nav on it was kinda cheap and had to have a disc. Bypassing it isnt a problem. I would go with the D3 or the F900 like I told ya before.

I would love those units BUT i have a guy wantin to trade me a D2 and an alpine 9805 for my x 10's

Thats the website Terry told me ab just couldn't remember it.. and someone can't answer the phone

I guess I'm just a dumbass, but I can't pull up the D2

You have to sign on as a member then find d2

Thanks

that site def helps a ton. helps w/ all the issues n bugs in them. they definately last. my buddy's just finally crashed (well wouldn't load cd's) and he's had it since the d2 first came out. both are nice. i've had the d3 for the last year.

I really didn't think they were going to do that this year with everything that is happening. If I didn't need to find work, I would be there!

The drive will be okay. It is the flipping down and stuff that starts to go after a lot of use. It does happen don't get me wrong, but it all depends on use. As far as the repair ... the Pioneer authorized repair centers only charge $105 shipped for that repair.

After as performing the whammy ( ) that really gives you the ability to enter address' while in motion. **Disclaimer: This may impeed the ability to drive and cause wrecks** You will still need another dvd player of some sort to watch movies on the D2. The ipod interface is crappy also ... I mean outdated and slow.

Keep the questions coming.

well the guy has the ipod cable.. Is that crappy too? will i have full control from the hu? when the unit is sent in does pioneer check everything on the unit not only what it is was sent in for? whats the easiest way to bypass the unit.. I hear theres a swith under it?

It isn't a cable for those ... it is an adapter with really slow access speed. If you have a 4gb or larger ipod you are going to hate it, lol. you will have control over audio though. It does not do any ipod video. they are suppose to check everything if it is sent in. there is step-by-step instructions on a previously mentioned site for the whammy.

i would love to have one of those units n the d3 was the one i was gonna go with.
he gabe i was wondering also man can you still order late models on the pioneer site cause there is an old one i wouln't mind gettin back in my grasps.

oh an did pioneer ever make a pioneer deck that was woodgrain, if i remeber right it was them cause only a few ppl i know got them an i only saw them for like a few months then they was off the lineup.

Gabe which unit charges the ipod while its playing?

That really depends on which ipod and what version of updates are on some of them

Let me know what iPod you have and what version of updates is on it and I can tell you.

ipod touch 8 gig.. just whatever you get when u sync it i guess..

ipod touch with version 2.0 or greater won't charge, music only, and no video

well thats gay.. is that ipod box universal for all pioneer navs?

it is meant for avic-n3 and older, avic-d2 and older, and avic-z3 and older. The other units to inlude the new avic-f series and soon to be the new (blank) series all use a different direct connect cable as far as navigation units go.

so if i got the D3 it would do me no good to have this box?

d3 requires a CD-I200 cable istead of that CD-IB100 II adapter.

The D3 with that cable will not play movies off of the touch also or charge it with version 2.0 and above.

LOL Yup thats what suckkketh about Pioneer...... The other brands need alot more acc. and most of them dont do it either.....


Kieth ill hit ya up later today... I got it under control for now and show is in Cali.

Gabe i think that is shhhityy your looking for work and these guys throwing money around for this comp... Crazy and dumb in my eyes they should have kept some of you guys on instead ............ Sorry bro.
